“Shameless Reference”

Eating breakfast in my car.

I can only see so far.

Little donuts leave white marks.

Little boys make little farts.

Michael Jackson would be proud

Of the crowd moving uptown.

UT handles all their herds

With little handles for their nerds.

Help me find another key.

I’ll help you free a different genie.

A World at War brings joy to some.

The Sandman’s Death loves all and none.


Augh!!!! *continued scream of anguish*  Ever since I came back from Disney, it feels like my odds on finding a job away from my hometown are decreasing exponentially.  I know they aren't, but my frustration level is definitely rising.  Also, there was a "misunderstanding" at work where my boss said he didn't want to "pressure" me into working more hours--I am currently scheduled 15 hours per week, which means I don't earn anything--because back in August, when I thought I would only be there for a month or so, I said I only wanted to work part-time.  I (stupidly) assumed if they wanted me to work more hours after one of my coworkers quit, they would tell me.  Not at all.  In fact, the primary owner/manager went out of his way to not ask me to work extra time when three people were going to be absent this week.  I asked his father--the semi-retired owner--if he needed me to stay late because no one came to relieve me when my shift finished, and he said, "Oh, R_____ didn't work out a schedule with you?  The other people are out this week.  If you can stay, that would be great."  Anyway, to make a long story longer, I didn't have anything planned, so I managed to pick up extra hours this week.  I asked the primary owner, R___, if I could work more hours, and he said he would look at everyone's schedules and see what he could do.
On the "real" job front, it feels like I'm trying to empty water out of a sinking boat with a sieve--not even a sieve, a 1/4 teaspoon.  I keep applying to jobs and hearing nothing.  I try to keep my hopes up, but it's getting harder with each passing day.  My primary new year's resolution is to keep trying, never give up, and keep believing in myself.  Also, I am going to continue daring myself to try new things.
